Haven't seen the pics, but just from the few posts ITT in the past few minutes is it bad that my thought was "reacting to butter knife pics, you're a little baby watch this: STEAK KNIFE PICS"

Mudslide Experiment

silentsnack posted:

Had a funny idea: raise minimum wage not by mandate but by giving companies a significant per-employee tax deduction (fractional for parttime) that is contingent on the highest-paid employee getting no more than 10x(?) the lowest, including indirect compensation such as stocks, private use of company jets, company-owned party mansions for executives, etc. And attempts to cheat by investing company money in businesses they own (or whatev) in order to get around the limit while still claiming the tax credit get an extortionate fine.


Basically to big companies this would be "sure you can have a billion in tax breaks but only if you either pay your slaves better or gently caress the millionaires"



Or a lot of problems could be resolved by punishing white-collar crimes by confiscating a meaningful chunk of the person's wealth&assets. Or just not letting rich people get away with crimes in general. None of which is ever gonna happen because capitalism, but still it was a funny drinking-coffee-while-writing-an-AI-script thought tangent.

If the government is gonna be the one paying for livable wages why not just go for UBI and cut out the bosses from profiteering?

Because "giving businesses a tax break" sounds like a neolib/neocon/capitalism thing to do, because the US is stupidly afraid of anything that smells like socialism.

Q.: What happens when you apply yourself to a thinker, in writing?

Derrida: I will try to answer your question - later. First: I am applied Derrida. A conference on me, where I am here... why do they want me to be here, to listen to my name? Let me postpone the answer to this question. [...] It is not application, but dissemination. I learned a lot from the papers. But why did I come here unprepared, with fake notes [holds up an empty sheet of paper]? I didn't want to apply something already, I wanted to come as naked as possible [takes off jacket]. Nakedness: purity and pornography. ... When you come to a conference on APPLIED YOU, it is as if you're dead. I would like to see what it is like when I am dead. That's why I came.

Wasn't that curious since I've seen far worse but human depravity is amusing to me... to quote Cthulhu Saves The World "I just like insane things okay?"


So my reaction is: yep that's about a 2/5 on the deviancy scale these days.

it always pisses me off too when people are like "well but they get an education :downs:"

like even IF you say the value of the education to them is the full price tag of the university, say they went to Duke or some poo poo, what if that guy is giving up 5 million dollars of NBA salary to do it for a year instead

it would be like if I made you come paint my entire house and said "well it's fair because I gave him a $10 coupon to Papa Johns that he wouldn't have gotten otherwise"

yeah, there was a guy on NPR and he had two ideas which would not make it fixed but would at least be better, which are

1) lifetime scholarships for players, you can leave any time and go pro for as long as you want and you can always come back and get a fully free education

2) lifetime medical insurance and coverage for any injury sustained while you play for the university, even if you need treatment for life


it would be a start

UBI could mean rolling back social services. Think HSAs except for everything. You could end up inadvertently turning over vulnerable populations to predatory markets.

Going from my fellow enlightened goons to reading the comments on supposedly erudite journalistic establishments is depressing. It's like visiting a third world country.

From the comments on the latest Johnathan Chait piece on NYMag.com:

@Tippy4Magee So let's get this straight. You consider the DNC's lack of cooperation with investigators, which has been recounted in sworn testimony by both the ex heads of the FBI and the Dept. of Homeland Security, as some ridiculous "right-wing meme" that is absolutely false. Yet when it comes to the existence of some legendary "pee pee" tape locked away in some Kremlin vault, a tale that comes via a quite shady dossier no reputable news outlet would touch -- that rates as merely "doubtful" in your mind. Is this what liberalism does to one's mind?


Talk about ridiculous memes -- this water-sports tale has been incorporated as fact by every liberal from Bill Maher to Saturday Night Live. Liberal comedians joke about it as if it's real, Daily Kos and Huffington Post members discuss its merits. And yet look at what's happened when it's come time for the initiators of said dossier and pee-pee legend to step forth and discuss whether it exists or not, officially...

Even their language betrays their Day Crewish nature! Liberals and conservatives alike doubt the Piss Tape, and call it by its disrespectful "pee-pee" label.

Further, the first commenter believes its release would even matter!
